Breast Augmentation

You want beautiful sexy breasts, not just a simple breast enlargement. Dr. Jugenburg has studied breast augmentation techniques with some of the world’s most experienced breast surgeons, from whom he has learned the techniques and approaches to perform virtually every type of breast augmentation surgery and to deal with any potential challenge one may encounter during this surgery.

Breast Reconstruction

Dr. Jugenburg has sub-specialization in cancer reconstruction, and has trained at the world-renowned Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre in Manhattan. Upon returning to Toronto, Dr. Jugenburg has worked at the Toronto General Hospital and Mt. Sinai Hospital in Toronto, providing some of the most sophisticated care to his patients.

Breast Reduction

Dr. Jugenburg rarely uses the “inverted T” approach, but rather limits the incision to only the vertical component. This means a significant reduction in scar size. Additionally, the technique Dr. Jugenburg performs is associated with fewer complications than the traditional “inverted T” with inferior pedicle technique. As a result, the blood supply, sensation, and “bottoming out” (sagging of the breast) are all improved compared to the traditional approach.

Instructions After Breast Augmentation

Please read carefully these do’s and don’ts after a Breast Augmentation

Surgery is only one of the steps on the way to fuller and more beautiful breasts. Following your surgery, the recovery period is a crucial time during which your body heals from the breast augmentation surgery and your new breast implants settle in to their proper position and shape. During this time it is essential that you follow our post-surgical care guidelines and attend your follow up visits. Failure to do so may lead to sub-optimal, or even unwanted results. We view the recovery period as a time when your body and your breasts are still fragile and must be cared for appropriately.

Following your breast augmentation surgery you CAN:

eat any food you normally eat

drink alcoholic beverages only after you have stopped taking your pain medications

Sleep on your back

return to office-type work

lift your arm up to the shoulder level during the first 2 weeks

lift objects up to 5lb during the first two weeks

These are things you CANNOT do after your breast augmentation

sleep on your stomach or sides for 6 weeks

run, jump or perform any other vigorous physical activity that will make your breasts bounce and potentially break open your wounds or dislodge your implants

try to look at your scars by pulling up on your breasts (to see the breast fold and areola scars) or lifting your arms (to see the armpit scars) because you risk breaking open your wounds

lift your arms above your shoulders, especially if you had the armpit approach

do not get your wounds wet for 5 days after breast augmentation surgery unless Dr. Jugenburg has applied a waterproof bandage over your scars (Dr. Jugenburg will always tell you if he has used a waterproof bandage)

Things to remember for as long as you have your breast implants

before any dental cleaning or dental work, remind your dentist that you have breast implants. They should prescribe you one does of antibiotic to be taken about an hour before your dental session

before any surgical procedure notify your doctor of your breast implants. They should prescribe you one does of antibiotic to be taken about an hour before your surgery.

if you ever develop an infection anywhere in your body (such as a bladder infection), treat it right away to prevent the infection from spreading through blood to your breast implants

if you ever think you may have an infection in your breasts, contact us immediately to be seen and assessed. Catching an infection before it goes deep and involves the implant is essential. If the infection is untreated and the implant becomes infected, it must be removed and not replaced for at least 9 months

silicone is not absorbed by your body. If a silicone implant ruptures or leaks, an ultrasound and MRI can be used to determine if the implant is intact

saline is absorbed by your body. If your saline breast implant leaks or ruptures, your breast will deflate. If your breast has not changed, your saline breast implant must be intact

If you choose not follow our post-breast augmentation protocols and/or you choose not attend your scheduled follow up visits, you understand that we cannot be held responsible for any unforeseen complications or problems that may develop.
